[Infinite Justice]

Jeff B going off on the rest of the crew was glorious LOL

Yeah, reading without voices is rough. I don't know how I read through Fate/stay night and Tsukihime since they don't have voice acting.

House in Fata Morgana wasn't voiced, but it's the best VN I've read. VA helps but it isn't a deal breaker for me. 999 wasn't really voiced either, though it did have the different pitched sounds for character text.

millenials love margaret @wood

Vinny with that Foucault's Pendulum drop

I knew I liked him

 

[Fireblend]

Vinny just named 2 of my favorite novels in a row. Childhood's End and Foucault's Pendulum. Dude has great taste. Damn.

Kubrick wanted to make a Foucalut's Pendulum movie but Eco's editor turned him down because Eco had told him to reject all film proposals after he watched Name of the Rose. He later said he regretted not letting Kubrick work on it.

I wish I lived in the alternate universe that got made in.

maybe he didnt stop learning, maybe a lifetime of taco bell and eating hot dogs out of shoe boxes just caught up to him right quick

 

[VeryGooster]

I really need to read American Gods. Haven't even seen the Starz show yet.

 

[The Technomancer]

HOOO BOY NAPALM MAN'S LEVEL IS A JUNGLE BOY HOWDY I NEVER PICKED UP ON THAT AS A KID

I really need to read American Gods. Haven't even seen the Starz show yet.

Book is amazing the show sorta veers from the books pretty hard after a few episodes, but keeps lots of references/scenes

Show is great, really beautiful.
